听一分钟英文：Winter-冬天

Winter is my favourite season. I love everything about it. I like the cold weather, which always makes the sky seem¹ so blue. I also like being² able³ to see my breath⁴ in the cold air. In summer, it's difficult to keep cool outside, but in winter, it's easy to keep warm. I really like hiking⁵ in winter. The cold really makes you feel alive⁶. It's also great getting home to a nice warm room. Winter also has the best holidays. I love getting together with my family and then celebrating⁷ the New Year. Winter is a really good time to go on vacation⁸ because the sights⁹ are usually empty. If you go anywhere¹⁰ in Europe¹¹ in winter, you can be sure of getting a hotel room and you never have to wait to get into a museum.
